Early on Tuesday (12-07-2022), the rupee dropped 13 paise to 79.58 versus the US dollar as investor mood was dampened by the strong US dollar abroad and declines in local stock prices.
Additionally, ongoing withdrawals of foreign funds and high crude oil prices maintained pressure on the local currency, according to forex brokers.
